A/N: Thanks for the reviews! I'll try to include Toby a little more to the reviewer who requested more Toby. I got the idea for this chapter from the movie "Raise Your Voice".

Nicole Wilson groaned. She had spent the whole Saturday morning trying to get a ride to the mall and no one could drive her. Her mom was gone for the day and would probably say no anyway. Her dad was out of town for the weekend. Her older brother Nick, who was home from college, had a broken leg so he couldn't drive her. Her little sister and brother Katie and Cory were only six so they were out of the question. Her thirteen year old sister Michelle was at a friend's house but it wasn't like her younger siblings could do anything for her anyway. Stacey was working on a huge project so she couldn't have Ellie drive them both to the mall and Melissa was hanging out with her newest boyfriend of the month all day and got mad when people called her during their "special time together". She suddenly had an idea. Sure it wouldn't get her to the mall, but it would cure her boredom. She would have Nick teach her how to drive!

"Nick!" she called.

"I'm in the twins' room!" he called back. She walked to Katie and Cory's room.

"Nicole! Look what I drew!" Katie shouted running to her big sister. It was a picture of…..well Nicole couldn't really tell what it was of but it was colorful.

"It's beautiful, sweetie" She lied.

"What's up?" Nick asked standing up with the help of his crutches.

"I just had a brilliant idea, because of course as you all know I'm a genius!"

"You're the smartest" Cory agreed in that adoring tone of voice that only a little kid can master.

"What is it?" Nick asked eying his sister suspiciously.

"Since I'm extremely bored and I know you are too, I was thinking you could teach me how to drive" Nicole said making sound like the easiest thing in the world.

"No"

"Please Nick! All of us have been cooped up in this stupid house for hours!" Nicole whined.

"Someone who whines like a little kid shouldn't be driving"

"Can you take us for ice cream?" Cory asked.

"We want ice cream! We want ice-cream!" Katie chanted over and over again.

"You know I can't drive because of my leg" Nick informed Nicole.

"You can teach me sitting right next to me" Nicole said.

"What are we going to do with the little ones?" Nick asked.

"Um, we can take them with us"

"You better be as good a driver as I am" Nick said giving in. Nicole smiled and gave her brother a huge hug. She bent down to where Katie and Cory were sitting.

"Do you two want to go on an adventure?" She asked them.

"Yay!" Katie shouted jumping up and down.

"I like adventures" Cory said as Nick picked him up. Nicole picked Katie up and the four siblings walked to Nick's car. Nicole got into the driver's seat and took a deep breath.

"Put the keys in" Nick instructed.

"Kay. Car's started"

"Back it up. How many drivers Ed classes have you taken?" Nick asked.

"Uh, let's just say I know the basics" Nicole replied, her hands shaking.

"Don't swerve so much" Nick commanded ten minutes later.

"Sorry. I'm sorry" Nicole said looking down to make sure she hadn't forgotten her wallet. Little did she know looking down was the biggest mistake of her life.

"Look out!" Nick screamed.

"Truck!" Katie and Cory screamed at the same time.

Sirens wailed in the distance…………………………………

Emma Wilson was shopping with her friends Mannuela Santos and Darcy Smith later that day. They were sitting down at lunch.

"So, I heard Nicole's been doing really well in school" Mannuela mentioned.

"Oh, I'm so proud of her. She has really improved" Emma said smiling.

"Is she still doing cheerleading?" Darcy asked.

"Yeah, she loves cheerleading!"

"Does she get that from her father's side?" Mannuela asked jokingly.

"What?" Emma asked confused.

"Remember when I first did cheerleading?" Mannuela said laughing.

"I'm so over that" Emma said laughing. Her phone rang and her smile immediately faded.

"What is it?" Darcy asked when she hung up.

"That was Todd. The kids were in an accident" Emma explained starting to cry. She looked shaken up.

Emma, Mannuela, and Darcy ran into the hospital. Emma ran to Todd who had his head in his hands.

"O, thank god you're here" He whispered kissing her head.

"Have they told you anything?" She asked.

"Nicole's in a coma and Katie is badly injured. Michelle wasn't in the accident" Todd explained tears running down his cheeks.

"What about Cory? What about Nick? Are they okay?" Todd shook his head. They started sobbing, hanging onto each other as if they were afraid to let go.
